Clock applet stops after login
Solution 1:
In a bug report on this issue one commenter says that a workaround for another bug fixed the clock freezing problem for him. The workaround delays the startup of gnome-panel for three seconds. (Strange, eh?)
Here is the workaround:
Create a script called delayed-gnome-panel.sh in your home directory and mark it as executable.
-
Edit the script to look like this:
#! /bin/bash sleep 3 && gnome-panel & exit
Then edit /usr/share/applications/gnome-panel.desktop so that
exec=bash /home/<user>/delayed-gnome-panel.sh
.
